Three prominant posters have resigned this forum lately due to pressure recieved from the outside! Is it because of threats of lawsuits? Is it because of threats of loss of friendships? Is pressure being applied by higher-ups within the UPCI? Is there a shake-down going on??????

Those who left that you mention all gave differing reasons. From the standpoint of potential "troublemakers" I think I rank up there and no one outside this forum has ever said a word to me about this forum. Except my wife, and she says "hi."
Has everyone existed within a structure of intimidation in the past and now you fear the bright light of day? Lawsuits? Gimme a break.

Unless you've offended the RIAA you can say or do just about anything online and not fear a lawsuit. Not that you
should do or say just about anything, but talks of lawsuits is hyperbole. Chatter on.
As far the schism goes, it would only work and cut only as deep as the rumormongers and gossips are allowed to go. If we use our collective voices to stand up to the bullies, then fewer of our friends will feel bullied to join some schismatic faction.
